Struggling with consistent entries when day trading futures? In this video, I break down the Double Break trade using the opening range and New York VWAP, with examples on NQ, ES, and YM.

You’ll see how I identify trapped breakout traders, enter after the VWAP break, and use the opposite side of the opening range as a target. I also walk through winning trades, failed signals, and a trade where my stop placement kept me in while the indicator’s suggested stop was hit.

Goooood morning.

I know I’m not the only one who takes a loss and wants to instant come back in Asia sessions and get it back.

Last night, I didn’t do that.

I would have won, my idea played out.

But I’m going to stick to my discipline of where I know my money is.

See you on stream!

September payouts rolling in—$1,800 from Lucid Flex accounts + $2,500 Vanquish payout (first from this options prop firm).

In this breakdown, I'm sharing the ONE thing I wish I understood better when I started trading VWAP: location matters more than the setup itself.

Using Tuesday and Wednesday trade comparisons across NQ, ES, and YM, I show why a Double Break trade at previous Value Area Low has completely different probability than one way underneath it. This is the critical edge that separates winners from losses.

The #1 skill that separates profitable traders from the rest?

Knowing when NOT to trade.

In this video, I break down the exact discipline mindset that's going to level up your day trading consistency. We're talking about the "just because I can doesn't mean I should" mentality that literally saved my trading account in August when everyone else was blowing up.

In this video, I break down my $11,300 red day and the critical mistake that cost me thousands. After 29 days of strong trading, I got caught fighting the New York VWAP on a second NQ trade—and here's exactly what I should have done instead.

Dow: -389 (-0.73%) → 53,051

S&P 500: -19.25 (-0.25%) → 7,702

Nasdaq: +21.25 (+0.07%) → 29,586

WHAT'S DRIVING IT

- Oil spiking — Brent ~$98-99, WTI ~$94, after Saudi energy facility ops halted following Houthi attacks. 3rd straight day of gains.

- Yields elevated — 10-yr at 4.80%, 30-yr at 5.27%. Friday's jobs report (+162K, ~3x expected) muddied the Fed rate-cut outlook.

- Pharma weak — Novartis -12% on failed drug studies, dragging AMGN/LLY/IONS/DYN/SRPT.

- U.S.-Canada trade tension also weighing on sentiment.

ECON CALENDAR (ET)

6:00 AM — NFIB Small Business Optimism: 98.7 (miss vs 99.3 est.)

12:15 PM — ADP Employment Change (weekly)

1:00 PM — Treasury 3-yr note auction

THE READ

Quiet data day until the afternoon auctions — oil/geopolitics is the live wire. Watch for headline-driven vol spikes rather than a clean data-driven session.
